The present invention relates generally to the field of bug determination, and more particularly to the determination of logical errors.
In computing, source code is any collection of computer instructions written using some human-readable computer language. Generally, the source code is text. The source code may be transformed by a compiler program into low-level machine code that then can be understood by a computer.
In computer programming, a declaration specifies properties of an identifier: it declares what a word means. The declarations are most commonly used for functions, variables, constants, and classes, but can also be used for other entities such as enumerations and type definitions. Incorrect declarations may lead to a logic error. A logic error is a bug in a computer program that causes it to operate incorrectly, but not to terminate abnormally. A logic error produces unintended or undesired output or other behavior, although it may not be immediately recognized as such.
Embodiments of the present invention include a method, computer program product, and system for determining potential associate errors. In one embodiment, two or more variables in a source code are determined. One or more variable groupings for the two or more variables are determined. A potential error for a variable of the two or more variables is determined based on the determined variable groupings.
Embodiments of the present invention provide for checking variable declarations in source code. Embodiments of the present invention provide for receiving a source code that includes a plurality of variables. Embodiments of the present invention provide for determining variables in the source code. Embodiments of the present invention provide for determining variable grouping of variables in the source code. Embodiments of the present invention provide for determining potential errors in the source code. Embodiments of the present invention provide reporting determined potential errors to a user or another program.
Embodiments of the present invention recognize that generally a set of variables are used together (i.e., a variable grouping). Embodiments of the present invention recognize that using a variable from a different variable grouping can cause errors in the source code (e.g., associated logical errors). Embodiments of the present invention recognize that using variables from different variables groupings can occur frequently due to simple copy and paste functions. Embodiments of the present invention recognize that it is hard to visually detect errors due to similar code structures and similar variable naming.
The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the Figures.
An embodiment of data processing environment 100 includes computing device 110 interconnected over network 102. Network 102 can be, for example, a local area network (LAN), a telecommunications network, a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, or any combination of the three, and include wired, wireless, or fiber optic connections. In general, network 102 can be any combination of connections and protocols that will support communications between computing device 110 and any other computer connected to network 102, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
In an embodiment, computing device 110 may be a laptop, tablet, or netbook personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, camera, video camera, video device or any programmable electronic device capable of communicating with any computing device within data processing environment 100. In certain embodiments, computing device 110 collectively represents a computer system utilizing clustered computers and components (e.g., database server computers, application server computers, etc.) that act as a single pool of seamless resources when accessed by elements of data processing environment 100, such as in a cloud computing environment. In general, computing device 110 is representative of any electronic device or combination of electronic devices capable of executing computer readable program instructions. In an embodiment, computing device 110 may include components as depicted and described in detail with respect to
In an embodiment, computing device 110 includes variable program 112 and information repository 114. In an embodiment, variable program 112 is a program, application, or subprogram of a larger program that checks variable declarations in source code. In an alternative embodiment, variable program 112 may be located on any other device accessible by computing device 110 via network 102. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include source code, lexical information, name pattern information of variables, filter information of usage patterns of variables, grouping information of variables, and rules about mixing variable usage across groups of variables. In an alternative embodiment, information repository 114 may be located on any other device accessible by computing device 110 via network 102.
In an embodiment, variable program 112 may receive source code for analysis. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may determine variables that are found in the source code or a section of the source code. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may determine variable grouping of the variables found in the source code previously. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may determine variable grouping based on either name pattern information of variables, filter information of usage patterns of variables, or both. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may determine potential errors in the variables found in the source code using rules about mixing variable usage across groups of variables. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may report potential errors determined previously to a user or another program.
In an embodiment, computing device 110 includes information repository 114. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include source code. In an embodiment, the source code is the source code that will be analyzed by variable program 112. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include one or more pieces of source code. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include source code that is being worked on by another program (i.e. compiler or programming software). In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include lexical information related to lexical analysis and lexical parsing. In an embodiment, lexical information may include tokens, lexical grammar, tokenization information, etc. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include information about name patterns of variables. In an embodiment, the information about name patterns may be predefined variable groupings created by a user or created by a program and verified by a user. In an embodiment, the information about name patterns that is predefined may be specific to a programming language or a generalized name pattern that is applicable multiple programming languages. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include filter information of usage patterns of variables. In an embodiment, the filter information may include information related to variables that are used together (i.e. usage patterns) or in the same groups of variables (i.e., detected group variables). In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include grouping information of variables. In an embodiment, grouping information of variables may be predefined variable groupings created by a user or created by a program and verified by a user. In an embodiment, information repository 114 may include rules about mixing variable usage across groups of variables. In an embodiment, the rules may include information related to what type of rules indicate when a potential error is found in a variable(s) of a group of variables. In other words, when a variable declaration is improper.
Information repository 114 may be implemented using any volatile or non-volatile storage media for storing information, as known in the art. For example, information repository 114 may be implemented with a tape library, optical library, one or more independent hard disk drives, multiple hard disk drives in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID), solid-state drives (SSD), or random-access memory (RAM). Similarly, information repository 114 may be implemented with any suitable storage architecture known in the art, such as a relational database, an object-oriented database, or one or more tables.
Variable program 112 receives source code (step 205). In other words, variable program 112 receives an indication of source code that has variable declarations for checking. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may receive an indication from a user or another program of source code stored in information repository 114. In an alternative embodiment, variable program 112 may receive source code directly from a user or another program and variable program 112 may store the source code in information repository 114. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may receive an indication from a user or another program that all, some, parts or pieces of the source code should be analyzed.
Variable program 112 determines variables in the source code (step 210). In other words, variable program 112 uses a lexical analysis tool along with a parser generator to determine the variables that are found in the source code received previously. In an embodiment, the lexical analysis tool and parser generator are integrated with variable program 112. In an alternative embodiment, the lexical analysis tool along with the parser generator are a separate program or programs that can analyze the source code and indicate to variable program 112 the variables found in the source code. In an embodiment, the lexical analysis tool performs the process of converting a sequence of characters in the source code into a sequence of tokens (i.e., strings with an identified meaning). In an embodiment, this lexical analysis tool is combined with the parser generator which may together, or separately, analyze the syntax of the source code to determine the variables found in the source code. In an embodiment, the analyzing the syntax of the source code to determine the variables found in the source code can be done using the sequence of tokens.
Variable program 112 determines variable grouping of variables in the source code (step 215). In other words, variable program 112 determines variable grouping of variables that were previously determined (step 210) in the source code. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may determine variable grouping based on name patterns of the determined variables in the source code. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may analyze the variables and determine similarities between naming conventions of the variables. Based on the similarities in the naming convention, variable program 112 determines groupings of variables so as to group variables with similar naming conventions. In an embodiment, grouping such as edit distance may be used. For example, the similarity between the variable covered_u and covered_y could be 0.95 (95%) while the similarity between the variable covered_u and vertex_u could be 0.10 (10%).
In an embodiment, variable program 112 may filter the variable grouping based upon the usage patterns of variables. In other words, a first variable may be put in a variable grouping because a second variable found in the variable grouping has similar usage patterns as the first variable. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may filter the variable grouping based upon the similarity of known variable groupings. In other words, a first variable may be put in a variable grouping because the first variable is similar to a second variable and the second variable is already found in the variable grouping. For example, is variable A is similar to variable B and variable B is in Group B then variable A will be placed in Group B.
Variable program 112 determines potential errors (step 220). In other words, variable program 112 determines potential errors using the determined variables, the determined variable groupings, and rules for determining potential errors. In an embodiment, the rules for determining potential errors may include information related to variables that must be grouped together, variables that must not be grouped together, variables that must be included in a variable grouping if another variable is already found in that variable grouping, variables that must not be included in a variable grouping if another variable is already found in that variable grouping, etc. For example, if a basic block contains a variable v_i that is determined to be in variable grouping g_l. Additionally, another variable v_j is determined to be in other variable groupings but not variable grouping g_l. Finally, there is another variable v_k that is determined to be in variable grouping g_l and variable v_k is similar to variable v_j. Therefore, variable program 112 determines that variable v_j is a potential error because variable v_j is not in variable grouping g_l.
Variable program 112 reports potential errors (step 225). In other words, variable program 112 notifies a user or another program of potential errors determined previously. For example, variable program 112 reports to a user that variable v_j in the previous example is a potential error. In an embodiment, variable program 112 may suggest alternative variable declarations. For example, variable program 112 may suggest replacing v_j with v_k in the previous example. Here, v_k belongs to variable grouping g_l so v_k should have been used with the other variables variable grouping g_l, while v_j does not belong to variable grouping g_l, and therefore, variable program 112 may suggest replacing v_j with v_k in variable grouping g_l.
Memory 302 and persistent storage 305 are computer readable storage media. In this embodiment, memory 302 includes random access memory (RAM). In general, memory 302 can include any suitable volatile or non-volatile computer readable storage media. Cache 303 is a fast memory that enhances the performance of processors 301 by holding recently accessed data, and data near recently accessed data, from memory 302.

In an embodiment, persistent storage 305 includes a magnetic hard disk drive. Alternatively, or in addition to a magnetic hard disk drive, persistent storage 305 can include a solid state hard drive, a semiconductor storage device, read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), flash memory, or any other computer readable storage media that is capable of storing program instructions or digital information.
The media used by persistent storage 305 may also be removable. For example, a removable hard drive may be used for persistent storage 305. Other examples include optical and magnetic disks, thumb drives, and smart cards that are inserted into a drive for transfer onto another computer readable storage medium that is also part of persistent storage 305.

In these examples, communications unit 307 includes one or more network interface cards. Communications unit 307 may provide communications through the use of either or both physical and wireless communications links. Program instructions and data used to practice embodiments of the present invention may be downloaded to persistent storage 305 through communications unit 307.
